Game of Life and How to Play It

A perennial seller in the self-help field, Florence Scovell Shinn's THE GAME OF LIFE AND HOW TO PLAY IT presents her basic principles for success in life. Shinn's advice is based on a positive outlook, common sense, and changing one's ways of thinking. She often draws on scripture to illuminate the lessons that apply to the everyday anecdotes of people who were troubled or searching for the way. In addition to scripture, she asserts the key role that the unconscious plays in success. Shinn was an important figure in the motivational and self-help field in the first half of the 20th century. THE GAME OF LIFE was first published in the 1920s, but its insights still ring true and have power.
